I was at the shop yesterday and the owner showed me some arrows a guy was shooting out of his 80lb Monster. They are Victory HVs they say 75/90 but they only weigh a total of 342 grs with 100gr heads. I am thinking he needs a 400gr arrow. By the way this shop did not set him up with this another shop did. This shop is going to talk to him about the arrows being to light.
Seems like his arrow are very light. I'm shooting at 65lbs and my arrows are 370gr and I'm looking for more weight. If I was to guess, I would say that if he is shooting 80lbs and has that light of an arrow, he wants speed, but that's just a guess.
I am thinking he wants speed also but isn't that light of an arrow out of a 80lb bow going to hurt his bow or him.
4.275 per pound, if he has it cranked up to 80. If he has it backed out to 68 which is possible, he'd be dancing on 5 gpp and within manufac. specs.
If it's at 80#s, yes he is under the reccomended 5 grains per pound of draw weight and risking damage to his bow. Did his bow sound like a rifle going off when he shot it?
I shoot my bow at 84# with 403gr. arrows which is a little under 5gr. per inch. This is due to a Cabela's error when they sold me the arrows, I will go a little heavier next time I need more. The guy is definitely flirting with danger shooting that light and might end up eating fiberglass limbs in the near future.
Actually a pretty good comparison. Crew chief says don't run that thing above x rpms or she'll blow and then the driver goes out and stands on it.
All I can say is I don't want to be near it when it GOES!!! I bet that thing is tough to tune as well. Also it SHOULD be noisy as with that light of an arrow the bow actually becomes much less efficient. Less efficient = more vibration elsewhere which = busted pin fibers, busted limbs, etc. To each his own, but that don't sound like the BEST decision to me by any means.
